"Such a big reaction, a bit stingy, isn't it."
Minori felt a bit of a headache, he really didn't expect that Martial King Gojin's departure would cause such a big impact.
It wasn't surprising that the Bloody Emperor could guess that Martial King Gojin's sudden departure was related to him.
Even if he tried to confuse the public, and deliberately had Martial King Gojin wait until he had completely left the empire before proposing to leave the empire's arena as a cover.
But it was impossible to extract him from this matter.
The Bloody Emperor was a smart man, suspecting him was expected, Minori just didn't expect that the Bloody Emperor would be so sure, and directly issue a wanted order for him.
"Looks like, the Bloody Emperor is very angry." Minori chuckled inwardly, it would be much more troublesome to go to the empire with a normal identity in the future.
However.
With the empire's wanted order.
His current reputation in this kingdom is probably quite high, after all, "the enemy's enemy is my hero" even in another world, it is equally applicable.
From the excited expressions of the city gate soldiers in front of him, he could deduce a lot of things.
Minori's eyes flickered, he thanked the city gate soldiers, and then led the Verdant Witch and Anri into the city gate.
Inside "E-Rantel".
Prosperity remains, even in the cold weather of winter, there are still many pedestrians on the streets.
The war between the empire and the kingdom ended, and as a border city, "E-Rantel" naturally resumed normal commercial activities.
Minori learned from the city gate soldiers that although the kingdom still didn't gain any advantage in this war, the losses were not as severe as in previous years.
This is also closely related to the departure of Martial King Gojin, the empire's symbol "Martial King", and Lakyus, the "Kingdom's Rose".
That's right!
Now Lakyus has a great reputation in the kingdom, and the kingdom's nobles have contributed a lot to this, the "Kingdom's Rose" is now Lakyus's title.
On the wide road.
In the gaps of the gray floor tiles, there are still slender and stiff gray-black snowflakes, pedestrians on the street look at the ferocious looking Kuro that is more than one person tall.
Everyone's faces showed fear, and even some children were so scared that they cried, and were quickly covered by their parents, not daring to look in the direction of Minori.
Large magical beasts that look like they are already adults, like Kuro, are rarely seen even in "E-Rantel", a border city close to the Tob Forest.
Minori walked in the front, raised his hand and patted Kuro's strong forelimbs: "Don't look around, you'll scare the children."
After speaking.
Minori showed an apologetic expression towards the children's direction, immediately attracting the other party's parents, who quickly bowed.
"Woof～"
Kuro wagged its tail and withdrew its gaze.
Enri's eyes were full of curiosity as she observed her surroundings, her gaze occasionally falling on Minori's back, who was wearing a priest's robe and was very gentle, her brown eyes couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Then she carefully glanced at the cold Verdant Witch, and couldn't help but lower her head.
Master is gentle and powerful.
Miss Verdant doesn't like to talk, but she is also a very powerful person.
Only she… knows nothing.
Enri wrapped her thick and old clothes, shrinking her chin into her collar, her eyes a little dazed.
She still doesn't know what the "talent" that Master is talking about about her is.
"Enri." A gentle voice sounded.
"Yes!"
Enri quickly raised her head and spoke
"Don't be so nervous, here." Minori chuckled, took out a money bag from his arms and threw it over.
Enri raised her arms to catch it, touched the round object reflecting in the money bag, and immediately realized that it contained coins.
Through the opening exposed by the money bag in her hand, a gleam of golden reflection flashed.
It's a gold coin!
Enri's heart shook, and the hand holding the money bag tightened, she had only seen what silver coins looked like in the village, and it was the first time she had seen gold coins.
"Here are 20 gold coins, you can use them to buy supplies for the next journey, and also change the set of clothes you are wearing."
Minori spoke softly.
"Ah!"
Enri's rough hands clenched the money bag again, and couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise.
20 gold coins, she had never seen so much money, after their village sold the harvested wheat and herbs every year, they could only take out about 3000 copper coins.
Enri quickly converted it in her mind, it was less than 18 gold coins, and the small bag of coins in front of her had already caught up with the income of a village for a year.
"Clothes are not needed, the ones I am wearing now are very good." Enri reacted and said a little flustered.
She actually wanted to say, can she do such a thing as handing so much money to her and buying supplies.
She was in "E-Rantel" this border city, it was her first time here, she was not familiar with it at all.
"Your physique is too thin, we still have to hurry on the road next, if you catch a cold and get sick, it will delay a lot of the journey."
"Compared to the money you need to spend when you are sick, I think the price of buying a few clothes is cheaper." Minori said here, and then said:
"Kuro will pull the carriage to load the supplies with you, and Verdant will also accompany you, but she doesn't know much about this kind of thing, you need to do the main work."
Hearing these words.
Enri felt less nervous and tense, her cheeks tightened, and she nodded vigorously: "I will do it well."
Her life in the village was like time had stopped.
Every day when the sun appeared, she had to start busying with fetching water, because that was the work of girls, and then helping with farm work, or picking some firewood in the edge area of the forest.
Repetitive and plain!
Enri had been thinking for a long time, how long would this unchanging day last, as a young girl, she was always full of expectations and special fantasies for the future.
Now.
Enri felt full of energy.
"The things I told you to buy before, you let Enri help you buy them." Minori turned his head and said to the Verdant Witch.
"Yes, Master."
The Verdant Witch glanced at Enri, who she had no interest in, and nodded respectfully.
She knew that the master asked her to follow this weak human to protect her.
After Enri and Kuro left, Minori entered a nearby hotel and opened three rooms.
"Click"!
The door closed.
Minori simply looked at the room environment in the hotel, he was not short of money now, so he did not find a small hotel to stay in as usual.
"The empire's wanted order was a bit unexpected, the plan needs to be changed a bit, but overall it's a good thing."
Minori walked into the room, found a chair and sat down, leaned on the back of the chair, with a thoughtful expression on his face.
His plan this time was to implement a "increase fame" plan, and now he has unconsciously completed half of it.
That's right!
Minori has now planned to move himself to the front, of course this "front" is an identity deliberately thrown out.
Genius alchemist + faith-based magic chanter!
To indirectly complete some layouts through this identity, "reputation" is sometimes more useful than brute force combat.
It is also easier to reveal some wrong information, so that the "Great Tomb of Nazarick" that will come in the future can transfer some of its attention from him.
"The Bloody Emperor has brought some small troubles, as expected, it is not suitable to contact such smart people."
Minori chuckled, shook his head, and had a general idea in his mind for the next action.
Although this may seem like a waste of time, for Minori, who has mastered teleportation magic, it only looks like a waste of time on the surface.
In secret, it is enough for him to complete many things.
"Heh, don't worry, but the "occupation" needs to be carefully considered."
Minori's eyes became a little deep, he raised his hand and snapped his fingers, and chanted in a low voice:
"Greater Teleportation!"
Whoosh!
The space in the room twisted slightly.
Minori's figure had disappeared, and as the vision changed, the scalding heat and orange-red light came into view.
Central area of the lava zone.
The group of dwarven craftsmen placed on the periphery do not need to worry at the moment, under the leadership of the Gray Dwarf Forging Minister, the Rune craftsman master.
All the dwarven craftsmen have become the other party's apprentices, all learning the Rune technology with their hearts, plus the Lizardmen's treasure [Large Jar of Wine].
The group of dwarven craftsmen have long been happy and unwilling to leave.
Ignoring the temperature in the central area.
Minori waved his hand and took out a rough rock that was more than two people tall from the item box.
This is a rock with a groove in the center, which is filled with a large amount of bright red blood.
Dragon blood!
As soon as the scarlet and deep blood appeared in the air, a faint pressure was released, the ancient aura vibrated, and the surrounding high-temperature air was drawn, forming a tornado that swirled around the dragon blood.
This pressure had no effect on Minori, but it could form a strong mental shock to ordinary creatures.
Minori looked at the gradually forming high-temperature tornado, and waved his arm expressionlessly.
Bang!
The fierce force contacted the air and made a dull explosion, and the gradually forming high-temperature tornado air was directly scattered under this force.
Minori casually put away the clothes on his body, jumped into the dragon blood for soaking, he stayed in Carne Village that night.
But he didn't really stay in the other party's village, but used teleportation magic to return to the lava zone for dragon blood soaking.
He has experimented these few days and has a basic understanding of the effect of dragon blood.
Drinking dragon blood will increase certain attributes.
Soaking in dragon blood will increase the corresponding resistance.
For example, under the soaking of these two or three days:
"Poison Attribute · Weak Resistance" has evolved to "Poison Attribute Resistance I".
...
Passive: Poison Attribute Resistance I
Effect: Applicable to resist low-level toxicity (≈ less than 20Lv).
...
Minori closed his eyes slightly, soaking his whole body in the dragon blood, only revealing his head, the strong bloody smell impacted his nasal cavity, causing him to frown slightly.
Compared to the increased ability of "Poison Attribute Resistance", the merely unpleasant smell is obviously tolerable.
Because dragon blood is not ordinary blood, even if the ancient fire dragon as the master has died, the blood still contains a unique power.
Ordinary objects cannot carry this power at all.
Minori could only dig a large stone on the surrounding mountain walls of the lava zone and make it into a simple stone bucket to hold the blood.
Time passed little by little.
The dragon blood in the stone groove, which was originally a bit dense and emitting a scarlet luster, obviously became lighter, and even the height dropped by about half a fist.
Soon.
Minori opened his eyes, and with a light leap, he jumped out of the groove, his whole body's skin was red and full of red marks.
To this.
Minori didn't care, but waved his hand and put the stone into the item box, and looked at the attribute panel: ""Poison Attribute Resistance" has not continued to increase."
"As expected, it has the same upper limit as drinking blood, but since there are still red marks on the body, it should still have a certain effect."
The effect of "Dragon Blood" is not only to increase "Poison Attribute Resistance", but also to increase "Fire Attribute Resistance".
It's just that Minori has already obtained "Fire Attribute Nullification", so the effect increased by dragon blood cannot be displayed.
"It's a pity that the blood of the Lava Dominator cannot increase attributes." Minori thought of drinking the blood of the Lava Dominator a few days ago, and the corners of his mouth twitched subconsciously.
"Dragon Blood" was already hard enough to drink, the blood of the Lava Dominator was even harder to drink, and even the degree of unpleasantness exceeded "Dragon Blood" several times.
"Is it because dragon blood has already increased the basic value, so the blood of the Lava Dominator can no longer increase it."
Minori also had this guess in his mind, but he couldn't be sure.
Based on the experiments obtained through Kuro, neither "Dragon Blood" nor "Lava Dominator Blood" can be directly swallowed by ordinary creatures.
"Dragon Blood" contains curses.
"Lava Dominator Blood" contains a magma-like high temperature.
Minori observed the red marks on his body, and after they all faded, the magic power in his body surged.
"Flight!"
The figure soared into the air.
Minori flew into the air and quickly changed his clothes, and began to continue to explore the surrounding mountain walls of the lava zone.
He was looking for the ancient fire dragon's cave, there must be a lot of treasures in the other party's lair, but a dragon's nest is obviously not easy to find.
Minori can only take a stupid way and search little by little, this is also a helpless thing, and he has not mastered useful exploration magic.
Speaking of which.
Minori has always been very interested in another ruler, but during the search these days, he has not found the other party's existence.
After carefully checking this location and finding nothing, Minori took out his pocket watch to check the time: "It's time to go back."
"Greater Teleportation."
Space twisted,
Minori instantly returned to the hotel room in "E-Rantel".
At this moment, the two people who bought the supplies have returned.
In the empty corridor, the Verdant Witch stood quietly outside the door of Minori's room, looking like a gatekeeper.
As a magic power fluctuation appeared in the room.
The Verdant Witch carried the package in her hand, and then walked to the door and gently knocked on the door.
